Top 10 Amazing Tasty Seafood Recipes That Can Help Get Rid of Belly Fat

2. Grilled Salmon and Zucchini with Red Pepper Sauce

Salmon sometimes gets a bad rap in the dieting world because of its fattier makeup and higher calorie count than some other fish. But Livestrong explains that the calories you do consume are also packed with nutrients and a ton of protein, which means you’ll feel full for longer. Livestrong suggests trying the Coho or Sockeye varieties, both of which can supply up to 40% of necessary protein with just a 3-ounce serving. Eat This, Not That! writes that wild versions are better for your weight loss goals because farmed salmon are fattened up on fishmeal.

Fitness offers this salmon dish that won’t let you down on flavor, and also incorporates some veggies you might otherwise neglect. The publication reports each serving contains 280 calories, 13 grams of fat, and 32 grams of protein. (If you prepare it as directed, you’ll have four servings.)

Grill, turning once, until the salmon is just cooked through and the squash is soft and browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the squash to a clean cutting board. When cool enough to handle, slice into ½-inch pieces. Toss in a bowl with half of the reserved sauce. Divide the squash among 4 plates along with a piece of salmon topped with some of the remaining sauce. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
